I want to compile the latest snapshot version of gedit on OSX as it has a lot of bug fixes and a number of new features, but I'm a little confused about the requirements to compile the sourcecode.
The readme says I need the GTK+-3 libraries, but for the life of me I can't seem to find them. I've gone through the GTK site, but there is only the 2.0 series available. Google doesn't seem to show any results for the 3.0 series either.
Anyone know how/where to get them?
The readme: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gedit/tree/README
GTK 3 has not actually been released yet, it's the current "in-development" version for the upcoming release of Gnome 3. It's still in development and not at all ready for mainstream use.
Still, if you really insist on trying it out, you can get a source tarball from the Gnome FTP server.
GTK+ 3 has been released some time ago (10-Feb-2001):
Sources: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gtk+/3.0/
Git repo: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+

I am new to moodle and I need to do an upgrade. I have several questions first:
I have to upgrade from 3.4 to 3.5 and then to 3.9. Would I have to install all custom/aditional modules to 3.5 or can I do it just on 3.9.
This might be a dumb question, but I want to make sure I don't give anything for granted. In other to know which are custom/aditional modules I just have to go to the plugins view in administration and just copy the plugins that are on the section aditional plugins, right?
Thanks in advance
In general, you can get away with not installing all the custom plugins in 3.5. It is, in theory, possible that a 3rd-party plugin would choose to clean up their older upgrade steps, in the same way that core code does (which is why you can't jump direct from 3.4 to 3.9). I can't remember of any occasion where I've been caught out by a plugin doing that (and I've prepared hundreds of upgrades for different customers over the years). Note: you will see messages about plugins 'missing from disk' during the 3.5 upgrade step, but those should be fixed when you add the plugins back to the 3.9 code.
The list of additional plugins contains all of the plugins that are not part of the core Moodle code. It won't tell you about any custom changes that have been made to core Moodle files, but if you have simply been installing plugins and not messing around with core files (which is true in almost all cases), then you should be able to rely on the list.
Hopefully it goes without saying that you should always take a full database and moodledata backup before you start the upgrade, just in case there are problems (but, in my experience, they are fairly rare with normal upgrades).
I have installed Kate Editor (with KWrite, which installs some plugins) in Ubuntu 15.04, and I have just realized that the Kate External Tools plugin is missing since version 4.8.
I really need this plugin, and if anyone could show me where to find an older Kate version or even the plugin itself I would really appreciate that.
By the way, I have found in this webpage the plugin, but (my Linux level is average) I am not able to install it: even the first command gives a problem, and you have to click on "actions" in the left bar... If someone could show me how to build it, that would be really helpful...
Thanks in advance!!
A Kate developer here: Unfortunately, the External Tools plugin was never ported to newer versions of KDE and in particular Plasma 5. There were changes in the plugin architecture, and due to some bugs and no maintainer, this plugin got lost.
We would be very happy to accept this plugin again in Kate's git repository, making it an official part of Kate again. But someone needs to implement it or port it to Kate 5. You can find more information in this bug report.
Update 2019-01-31: I am currently working on bringing this back to Kate: https://phabricator.kde.org/D17971 It will take another 2-3 weeks, though.
Update 2019-09-21: It is back, and will be released with the KDE Applications Release 19.12. See:
https://kate-editor.org/post/2019/2019-09-21-external-tools-plugin/
now that they release v0.5.0 the question is how can I upgrade from 0.4.6 to 0.5.0 without loosing all my packages? is there even a way. Or if there is no easy way, how have people done it? What is the best way to do it?
Other question is, is it worth it or do I need to upgrade? What are the benefits or why I should not upgrade (yet)? Is there problems with Atom and other packages?
Yes there is quest same question already, but it is for older version and I thought if something has changed on upgrading.
You can go into your .julia/v0.4 folder and copy the REQUIRE file to the v0.5 folder. Then when you Pkg.update() your packages should automatically install.
There are very many upgrades (broadcast syntax, arraypoclypse, string changes, etc.), and many packages may stop supporting v0.4 for this reason. I would recommend you start upgrading soon. Juno has already released its v0.5 version, so when you update it should be compatible.
I just upgraded to version 3.0.1 from nunit 2.6.4. It used to have a NUnit Gui Runner, located here:
After installing 3.0.1 (which I downloaded windows version from here)
I now no longer see the nunit.exe in the installation folder, for example the directory structure is different and appears to be missing many files that were part of the previous installation:
The NUnit team decided to make the GUI a separate product and will be releasing it separately. It is being rewritten from the ground up for NUnit 3, but hasn't been released yet. Development is happening on the GitHub page at https://github.com/nunit/nunit-gui if you want to get involved or track the progress. Initial releases will be out soon.
Update - There have been several preview releases of the new NUnit GUI that can be found at https://github.com/nunit/nunit-gui/releases. The previews are not recommended for production use, but they work and can be used.
The "final" release is here, you can find it at: https://github.com/TestCentric/testcentric-gui/releases
For anyone coming to this page, looking where to find the NUnit Gui, please note that on http://nunit.org/?p=download you can get version 2.6.4, which does contain the Gui.
UPDATE
As pointed out in the comments, a lot has changed since, and you should no longer use the 2.x version tools, rather use the new TestCentric UI found at https://github.com/TestCentric/testcentric-gui/releases
I just read an article and learned about the HHVM which is built on the lines of JVM for Java. I went ahead and tried searching on the web, but found only articles about installing it on Ubuntu build 12 version.
I have been using a WAMP stack and would like to know if I can use the HHVM for any of my application. Also,I would like to understand if the HHVM can be integrated with our existing applications. Earlier an article suggested HipHop was what FB wrote to enhance their performance based on their requirements,and it may not suit yours. Is the same case with HHVM?
At present, HHVM does not support Windows. The HHVM team probably will not be adding Windows support in 2013, though they might pursue it at some point in the future. The team gladly accepts code contributions from developers who want to improve HHVM's support for different platforms at https://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php . You can also open a github issue at https://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php/issues to ask about Windows support.
Just as an update, since this is still popular - there is an official compiling/installation guide here at their Wiki for windows.
Full installation run-through guide.
